Compassion: Patience



If you really want to help other people
to abandon suffering
turning confusion into wisdom,
be patient.

Compassion without patience,
is as useless as wisdom
without skilful means
or a car without gas.

Compassion without wisdom
turns into masochism.
Patience without intelligence
turns into permissiveness.

Faith without intelligence
degenerates into fanaticism;
Intelligence without compassion
turns into cunningness.

Cittamatra: Zen bones


You should know my friend,
that experience has three natures.

The imaginary nature, conceptual,
which is created by the klesha mind.

The dependent nature, real existence,
including the eight consciousnesses.

The truly existent nature, absolute existence,
ultimate, pure and perfect reality.

No more mind/matter duality,
self- aware wisdom mind.

Empty moments of consciousness,
without perceived and perceiver.

Feel this, taste it,
and then drop it.

Like images in a dream,
apparent objects fade away.

Just rest in emptiness,
and give out compassion.
